I think time will tell, but we have a better coach. I think you've got better star power and a better team, overall. Eagles will have their hands full beating the Leo's and it is at our place. The Lions just need to keep their heads straight.

Stafford probably over Vick - Vick over stafford

McCoy probably over Bush - McCoy well over Bush

Calvin easily over D. Jax. - Calvin and D. Jax battle to a draw

I don't think either team has much depth. - Philly will play with more heart

Eagles have no secondary. Lions not great but can't be worse. - Lion defenders can't spell secondary

Both 4-12 last year although Eagles made more changes. - Your coach better than our knucklehead

Yeah, I don't think Eagles win three or more than the Lions. - You've been grillin those funny mushrooms again

I know why the Eagles failed miserably last year. Still scratching my head on the Lions. - Try coaching, attitude, o-line, d-line, secondary...

From a divisional standpoint, I'm curious as to who you guys see as the Lons greatest for over the last 50 or so years. I guess Um asking which team do you hate the most?

I suppose the right answer is the Bears or Packers but the team I grew up despising was the Vikings I grew up in the late 60's early 70's when the Lions seemed to always come in 2nd place to them. I hated Bud Grant. Fran Tarkenton was so slippery.

I actually liked the Packers ( bought a helmet of theirs) because I liked the colors and Bart Starr and company.

But the Lions lost every game to the Vikings for years. They always had " our" number. So with the 2013 regular season only a day away Im asking who is YOUR public enemy #1 between the:

Packers
Bears Vikings

Interestingly, in the Eagles case (yes of courseIm going THERE) the team that the fans are known to hate the most in their division between the Redskins, Cowboys, and Giants is the Cowboys. But if you were to go into the locker room and asked whom they hated the most my understanding is the Giants.

My guess is that the team the Lions players hate the most is the bears.

Vikes at Lions
Vikes had powerful draft but lost some depth when they jumped up into the 1st rnd. QB Ponder proved functional last year and Jared Allen won't meet Jeff Backup for 1st time in 6 yrs.
Stafford looked bad in preseason so I don't know what is up.
Defense looked hellalious in preseason forcing many turnovers.
Ball better roll our way or Vikes are off and rolling.
